Internships (6 weeks - 6 months)

This programme line supports degree-seeking students from the University of Freiburg doing an unpaid and self-organized full-time internship outside the ERASMUS+ area and Switzerland for at least 6 weeks to at most 6 months.

Checklist

Possible destinations:
Internships in ERASMUS+ programme countries cannot be funded, even though you might not fulfill the criteria for an ERASMUS+ application. This includes stays abroad in ERASMUS+ countries and in their overseas territories, EWR countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway), in Turkey and Macedonia, as well as in other EU accession countries, depending on the current situation. If you want to do an internship in the ERASMUS+ area, please contact the University of Applied Sciences in Karlsruhe, which is responsible for the coordination of the Erasmus+ Internship Program. Furthermore, internships in Switzerland cannot be funded by PROMOS, either.


Possible employers/institutions:
Internships in the following institutions cannot be funded by the DAAD-PROMOS scholarships:

  • German Foreign Service (embassies, consulates general)
  • International organizations (e.g. EU, UN)
  • German schools abroad*
  • Goethe Institutes
  • Institutes of the Max Weber Foundation (formerly DGIA)
  • German Archaeological Institutes Abroad (DAI)
  • Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (selected institutes in the field of foreign cultural and educational policy)

 
Internships in these institutions are directly financed by the DAAD via the scholarships called 'Kurzstipendien für Praktika im Ausland' and cannot be funded by PROMOS. Please contact DAAD, directly.


* Internships at German schools abroad called Deutsche Auslandsschulen (DAS) cannot be funded by PROMOS. However, internships in so called 'Sprachdiplom- or DSD-Schulen' or in so called 'FIT-Schulen' can be funded by PROMOS. This regulation does not apply to student teachers who will do an internship at any school abroad. They should apply via the DAAD programme “Lehramt.International". Here you can find information on the network of German schools abroad: Deutschen Auslandsschulen and the different types of schools. Please do not hesitate to write us an email in case of any doubts.
